Post Office Cabin - Rental Information

Post Office Cabin Reservation Form

In 1938, this cabin was a functional post office, after 36 people petitioned the U.S. Government for its formation. Fr. LeVasseur, S.J., a local priest, became the first and primary postmaster. He used this post office to generate donation requests for the Shrine, and in turn, many donations from around the world were mailed here. Over 12,000 envelopes bear the first day's cancellation. Stamp collectors throughout the U.S.A. covet the postmark and cancellation stamp bearing the name "St. Terese, Alaska." (Note: St. Therese was spelled incorrectly.) Retreat directors, families, private retreatants, and over-flow lodge users utilize this small building today.
